From being an independent MLA to serving as the state president of Congress and the Speaker of the Assembly, he has held various positions. He has consistently raised his voice on issues concerning farmers, rural problems, and social justice.

Nana Patole’s political journey began as an independent MLA. Notably, in his early days, he contested elections as an independent candidate and won. This showcased his political strength and leadership capabilities. During his time as an independent, he focused on the issues faced by the people in his constituency, particularly emphasizing farmers’ problems.

Throughout his political career, he has continually fought for the rights of farmers and worked to improve their living standards.

He became known as an active and dedicated leader within Congress. His tenure in Congress was filled with numerous social and political movements. By winning elections on a Congress ticket, he earned the trust of the people.

Due to the growing influence of the BJP, Nana Patole joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014. However, after a few years, he resigned from the BJP due to disagreements over farmers’ issues. When leaving the BJP in 2017, he expressed dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies. He decided to distance himself from the BJP because of their neglect of farmers’ problems and failure to find appropriate solutions. According to him, central government policies were exacerbating farmers’ issues. This is why he showed the courage to leave the party, a decision that was widely praised by the farming community.

President of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress

His anti-BJP stance and firm position on issues concerning farmers and labourers significantly increased his popularity. Even today, he raises his voice on various issues across the state under Congress’ leadership. Furthermore, during the farmer protests central government agricultural laws in 2020-21, Nana Patole openly supported them. He believed these laws were against farmers and would place them under market pressure. For Patole, this movement symbolized farmers’ rights; therefore, he went to Delhi to stand with them openly.

His progress from an independent MLA to president of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress and Speaker of the Assembly is remarkable. His commitment to farmers’ issues and insistence on social justice set him apart from other leaders.
